TEAC :: The leaders in digital music


It all began over 50 years ago when a young Japanese engineer, Katsuma Tani, introduced a tape recorder to the world. That started an innovative, young and enthusiastic company that became known simply as TEAC. Since that time, TEAC have continued Tani’s passion to the music and generated a whole range of audio and video products that proudly carry the TEAC name. Creating technological firsts over the years, TEAC is synonymous with quality and engineering design that remains faithful to our founders passion.
